Glowing Lizards and Libertarians
May 5th, 2004, No Comments
I ran across another odd eBay action: One dozen lizards that glow in the dark. Everyone loves glowing lizards. They’re educational and fun! But be careful – no tech support is provided. I wonder if these are anything like the stink lizards from Futurama? Since I stumbled across the site meetup.com a while back and [...]
Post-Christmas MIG Shopping
December 26th, 2002, No Comments
Another Christmas has come and gone. A few of us gathered at my sister Linda’s house and joined her family for Christmas day. The usual sorts of holiday activities occured – food, games, lots of talking, and helping the kiddos assemble a few toys. And we made some calls to those who couldn’t (or didn’t [...]
Buying Camera Gear From eBay vs Camera Shows
May 4th, 2002, No Comments
Busy day. Spent the morning mowing and edging the yard. We had lunch in Grapevine on the way out to a camera show sponsored by one of our clients.

I finally managed to obtain one of two out of print Flying Lizards CDs that I’ve been trying to get my hands on for while. I won an eBay auction for their first, self-titled CD last week and it arrived today. It’s the first time I’ve heard their stuff in years. Now if I can [...]
Going to a Live Auction
August 27th, 2000, No Comments
Susan and I went to a computer auction saturday and picked up a few interesting odds and ends. Live auctions are strange; they can be really boring sometimes and a lot of fun other times. But eBay is a lot more convenient most of the time. All the work with JSP and servlets that I’ve [...]
Trying out eBay
September 10th, 1999, No Comments
Sooner or later, I guess everyone sets up an account on ebay. I’ve participated in a few auctions before – both live and on the net but not on ebay. Last night I created an account for myself and bid on a PC-based PBX system that would be ideal for our new office. At the [...]
